Comparatively, the next-highest recent season, the 2014-2015 flu season, had 2,575 cases recorded in Greene County. It led to 900,000 confirmed hospitalizations. Cases increased in November and peaked in January and February.

Laura Riley, MD, professor and chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Weill Cornell Medicine, said in the NFID release that flu vaccination during pregnancy is safe. Additionally, the CDC reported almost 60 percent of kids under 17 weren't vaccinated during the last flu season.

Adults who get the vaccine are less likely to suffer complications that require hospitalization. There was a large geographic variability in vaccination coverage among children, ranging from a high of 76.2 percent in Rhode Island to a low of 43.2 percent in Wyoming. Flu season starts Monday and peaks around Mardi Gras. Some seasons are mild.
